eWN's Music Discussion Thread

[Iron Ape]

Well to be fair I did point to a study that said that they were the least appealing musicians for your spouse to listen to... it's because either people love, or they hate them. I wouldn't say that their popular I would say like linkin park the people who like them pretty much like them as some sort of guilty pleasure.

Wait, is this the "study" you're referring (but not actually pointing) to? Haha Dude, a small sampling of people on a dating site is hardly representative of the attitudes of the general population, nor does it qualify as being much of a study. Furthermore, that entire site is dedicated to musical elitism to such an absurd degree that it dictates the users' personal relationships. Most people aren't anywhere close to being like that.

Even if one were to entertain that rather tenuous assertion, though, I'm still not following how some people hating them equates to them being only a love 'em or hate 'em kind of thing. All that points to is the existence of people who hate them. That's it. There's absolutely nothing pointing to a lack of an in-between.

That's a fair point. Again I have only met people who are not in between. Probably because there is so much hate that anyone who likes them feels the need to defend them. I could just be reading to far into that, and you could be right in your analyzes.

All of this talk of Nickelback compels me to point out the absolute worst thing that's ever happened in the history of horrible things:



Their potential offspring are the greatest threat to music since Auto-Tune.

ugh! I remember when I was much younger and she first came out as a singer and I thought she was super hot.... I was a very very misguided fool to even listen to her music... To be fair there is still a ton of great music being created, even their potential offspring can't destroy that.

She wasn't bad when she started, but as many musicians she chose the commercial highway and then we all know what happened, personally I don't care about their childrens, they will always be someone who does that kind of music anyway

What? Avril was commercial from the get-go.

That's fair, there are always going to be commercially successful band who produce crap. I can think of several other bands that produce great music and because people are so busy bashing the bad bands they forget about the good bands. I'm guilty of this as well, as I assume we all are.

She must have a thing for singer/guitarists. The last one didn't quite work out so well (read: wasn't successful enough)

The next logical progression from Sum 41 and Nickelback is for her to run off and get married to both guys from the Insane Clown Posse.
